Doug Fellegy – HI-FI Indy https://hifiindy.com HI-FI Indy Mon, 19 Feb 2024 22:13:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 PHOTO RECAP: Petey at HI-FI – Sold Out! https://hifiindy.com/2023/11/27/photo-recap-petey-at-hi-fi-sold-out/ Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:31:41 +0000 https://hifiindy.com/?p=19055 more »]]> Petey

Petey just wants to make stuff.

“If I can wake up every day for the rest of my life and make something new, that’s all I could ever ask for,” he explains “it’s the only goal I’ve got.”

His music is explosive and cathartic, with moments of aching honesty and probing self-examination giving way to biting wit and joyful exuberance amidst a sea of arpeggiated synthesizers, distorted guitars, and shouted vocals. Is it indie rock? Punk? Electro-pop? Emo? Sure, but if you’re getting hung up on what to call it, then you’ve already missed the point.

Petey sold out the HI-FI on Sunday, November 19th, supported by special guests North Americans.

Future Islands are a band whose brilliance has always been hiding in plain sight. One viral moment might have catapulted them to worldwide recognition, but they were just doing what they always did – pouring their heart and soul into every moment, and channelling art’s great power to spread love and hope. It was and still is, quite simply, who they are.
